What Furniture Should I be Providing in an HMO?

07/03/2018

There is no mystery to furnishing an HMO but in a saturated market, you need to stand out. One thing you should think about is the bed you provide. A smaller bed will discourage your tenants from letting another person stay in the room with them, a scenario that could land a licensed landlord in trouble.

Furniture for HMOs

Amy: What sort of furniture should you be providing in an HMO as standard, would you say?

Dale: As standard, our main furniture pack that goes out has a four-foot double bed.

A lot of landlords choose the four-foot bed. This is especially true for licensed landlords who have a single occupancy licence per room.

So, if it’s got five-person HMO then only five people can live there.

With a four-foot bed, you’re less inclined to invite your girlfriend over.

Amy: To move in.

What's On Offer?

Dale: To move in. “Come and move into my house, it’s great. I’ve got one bedroom and that’s it.”

So, double wardrobe, a chest, a bedside table. Quite a few people include desks as well. And then the trick is just to decorate the place nicely with a good finish so people want to live there.

I genuinely think everything in the property game is a people’s game, you work with people.

And when someone walks in, if you’ve got nice, friendly face… Maybe I shouldn’t do any viewings then.

If the service is great from start to finish, then they get to see the room and go, ‘Wow, this is really good’.

“The landlord seems a good egg and the agent seems like a good person.”

It kind of sells itself.

Amy: And you’ve got to go a little bit over-and-above now. Like we’ve talked in previous videos about the saturation that some places are seeing with houses of multiple occupancy.

You need to have a bit of a wow factor with your HMOs. You need to make them look nice.

It’s not enough to just let out a room and leave it empty and hope for the best, in some areas anyway, it’s getting very saturated.

I know your properties always stand out and there are a few different things you do and a few different bits of furniture that jazz things up a bit and I think that’s really important.
